On a complete whim I decided to screw around in Linux. I don’t know why I didn’t manage to do it before, but somehow this time I finally got Vulkan working in Linux. That means Proton could work, so I fired up Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain… it worked. ;_; Sure, the controller went crazy, but the game itself worked fine. Feeling fed up with Microsoft’s crap, I thought to myself, “could this finally be it…?” Well, I would say there’s only one way to find out, but that’s doubtful, I’ll just pick one particular way. :v

I challenge myself to not boot up Windows until 9th of March 2019. Until then, I’m sticking to games with native Linux ports or ones that run well enough in Proton.
I do know that I’m not doing the switch the hard way - I’m still keeping my Windows partition because I know Proton is not magic and it can’t run everything you throw at it, at least in its current state; I would have done it a bit earlier if I could get Catherine to work in it. And I still have games in my backlog that ProtonDB marks as borked, so there’s that, but man can dream.

I usually don’t make posts on BLAEO site, but I just finished a game that IMO deserves more attention than it’s getting right now, and it’s very possible you already have the game in your library. It’s been in Early Access for quite some time, and version 1.0 has come out last month.

TL;DR breakdown if you don't feel like reading my review on Steam

Pros:
+Great story
+Well made gameplay
+Pretty graphics
+Nice OST

Cons:
-Potential performance problems
-Complete ending not yet in the game
-Steam overlay is picky about it

Another status update is in order, because of the “predictions” I mentioned last time. My regular internet is still not back, which is way past my previous deadline. Supposedly the cables are already set, so I have no idea what the hell my ISP is doing. I never had problems with them before the incident, but if that’s how they treat technical support, then I can’t stress enough to stay away from them.

On the bright side, going over the cap on my replacement internet wasn’t as catastrophic as expected, but these are still not optimal conditions for online games. I’m still waiting for a new monitor, I would prefer not to start Shadow Warrior on this tiny resolution and Senran Kagura would probably just feel wrong.

Some of you are already aware of my internet problems; basically, I’m not going to come too often until they are resolved, and that means that any playtime I have won’t be logged in. Just in case, for now I’m going to try and focus on games without Steam achievements, maybe try some of my GOG or other backlog in the meantime as well.

ETA for my problem getting solved last week was two weeks (more optimistic variant) or a month (more realistic variant). I hope there won’t be any pessimistic variant.
